So the time has come for me to actually buy the 135i - I went to test drive and price out a 135 at my local dealer and this is what we came up with; ' 08 135i coupe, jet black, premium pkg, premium audio = 48,000 (MSRP)

Just wanted to know what the invoice price (for Canada) was so I know what kind of room I have to play with. If anyone could let me know what prices they are getting in the GTA that would be fantastic (ya I know options make a difference but, a general idea would be very helpful).

Congrats on your finally pulling the trigger... I can tell you that I got a 3% discount on MSRP which is the most that I've heard of especially in Alberta.

Unfortunately, I would say that in Toronto you are probably going to get jammed a bit, as dealers don't necessarily have to discount the 1 because of the high demand.

I would shoot for 3% and accept 2% and call it a day.

I am curious to how it turns out, so keep us posted... FYI I know that you can get a better deal in Missassauga than you can in TO or Oakville or something... as they have higher volume. I used to live there, good luck!

Yeah, that is what I was refering to... so technically the more options you order the larger the discount :biggrin:, which is how I like to think about it... hahah

I had to pay extra for ruberized mats, wheel locks and some other stuff. (winter kit is what they called it), just pulled out my invoice and it was $279.95.. The pricing below is straight from my invoice.

Thanks for the info and the congrats guys - however, it's going to come down to price - I'm really hoping that I get at least 2% off the MSRP - if not I might be looking at getting into a G37S. But I'm sure we (SA and myself) can work something out. I know the 1 is a "hot" car now but I'm a bit irked that year end cars don't have any specials on them.

VFX - where are you getting those prices and how come when I price out the car, it comes out to 48,000 - maybe because you're in BC?

You won't be able to get any year end deals because the demand far exceeds the supply. It's not like you can go to a dealer and choose from 10 cars sitting on the lot.

I just agreed to a 3.5% discount from MSRP along with $350 of accessories added in with labor for install included for a 2009 135i Coupe. Delivery by mid- October 2008.

Agree to a percentage discount not dollars if ordering since there may be a price increase and you still get the difference.

About a $1,900 net discount off a $40,750 MSRP or about 4.7% net discount.

Maybe I should have waited until the end of the sales month to get an even better deal...not!

That's sounds like a pretty good deal, although it isn't that comparable to what we are dealing with here in Canada. Economy differences and such (Calgary is hot as hell, and florida is in the sewer :wink. Sorry, just had to crack on the neighbours to the south

Congrats on the purchase, I am jealous of the discount! Make sure to put up pictures!

Hey guys, been working some numbers with my SA and just got a 3.5% discount and about $300.00 worth of accessories (jacket, rubber mats, wheel lock) - what do you guys think- deal or no deal? it's a 135i, premium, comfort, and M pkg.
